Kalachakra Completion Program

The Profound Path of Vajra Yoga - 6 Yogas of Kalachakra

About this Program

This program is designed for those who are committed to the Kalachakra path and the Guru Khentrul Rinpoche. Kalachakra is your number one life priority. This is open to non-monastic and monastic practicioners.

Beginning with the Kālachakra Empowerments & Teachings bestowed in 2016-2023 by the Vajra Master Shar Khentrul Rinpoché, Dzokden Kalāpa currently holds the complete path of the Kālachakra Six Vajra Yogas which are the most sublime and rare definitive teachings of the Buddha. This is the first time in the world that these practices have been made available in group retreats to non-monastics outside of Tibet, marking an incredible milestone in the history of Buddhism.

Our various programs aim for spiritual development through authentic study, practice, and service to the community. We seek to inspire transformative experiences that cultivate deep inner realization through a strong compassionate and devoted heart. Inner peace will lead to world peace as we aspire to swiftly create conditions to manifest a second Golden Age of peace and harmony as prophesized by the Buddha in the Kālachakra Tantra.
